翠梅知道那是我的嘔心力作,原名叫“Shit”,編輯潘碧華打電話來,忍住笑,吞吞吐吐問我可不可以改名,我問為什麼;「太骯髒了?」
她回答說:「不,上頭認為題目不可放英文。」昏倒。
只得方便大家,就叫「自然」。
真希望找回原稿,記得寫了好幾篇,雄心壯志,要寫五十篇失戀的故事,套用 Paul Simon 的歌名;Fifty ways to leave your love。酷man。

50 Ways To Leave Your Lover
The problem is all inside your head
She said to me
The answer is easy if you
Take it logically
I’d like to help you in your struggle
To be free
There must be fifty ways
To leave your lover
She said it’s really not my habit
To intrude
Furthermore, I hope my meaning
Won’t be lost or misconstrued
But I’ll repeat myself
At the risk of being crude
There must be fifty ways
To leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover
CHORUS:
You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don’t need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don’t need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free
She said it grieves me so
To see you in such pain
I wish there was something I could do
To make you smile again
I said I appreciate that
And would you please explain
About the fifty ways
She said why don’t we both
Just sleep on it tonight
And I believe in the morning
You’ll begin to see the light
And then she kissed me
And I realized she probably was right
There must be fifty ways
To leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover

Taiwanese director Edward Yang dies at age 59
(06-30) 22:18 PDT Beverly Hills
Edward Yang, the Cannes-winning Taiwanese engineer-turned-director known for his realistic portrayals of modern Taiwan, has died from complications from colon cancer, a film industry consultant said Sunday. He was 59.
Yang passed away at his home in Beverly Hills Friday, film consultant Norman Wang told The Associated Press. Wang said Yang's family asked him to release the information to the press.
Yang had been battling colon cancer for seven years, Wang said.
The director is survived by his wife, concert pianist Kaili Peng, a young son and a younger sister, he said.
Yang studied engineering in Taiwan and obtained a master's degree at the University of Florida. He worked as a computer engineer before becoming a filmmaker.
Yang favored stories set in the Taiwanese capital Taipei. Among his works are "A Brighter Summer Day," a 1991 film set in 1950s Taipei about Elvis-worshipping teenage boys who get involved with gangsters.
Yang won Cannes best director in 2000 for "Yi Yi," about a Taiwanese family that copes with the serious illness of their elderly mother.
